Immigration Crackdown & Reality: In immigration reform, arguing against workplace raids

This is a followup on today's LA Times editorial.

In immigration reform, arguing against workplace raids | Opinion L.A. | Los Angeles Times: "In February 2009, Dick Gordon interviewed a woman, who wished to remain anonymous, for 'The Story,' about her experience during the raid at the Howard Industries Manufacturing plant in Mississippi, in which 600 workers were arrested. She concludes with this message:

"What I would like to say to the American people, or the listeners, is that we don't come here to steal; we didn't come here to steal anybody’s job; or steal anything from anybody. We came here to work and we work hard for what we work. I could see if we were out there on the streets stealing somebody's money that they would say that we came to steal. But we didn’t come to take anything away. We came to support our children and support our parents. Have they not ever had to work to support their children and support their parents, wouldn’t they do it too?"
